Cafe Cenno - Durham

Ginocasio

Great market cafe.
Glad I found this lovely wee cafe while browsing in the Market hall in Durham, up a couple of flights of stairs ( but there is a lift too)..Give your table number when putting in your order and paying...Staff bring your food when ready...I had their lovely fry up with green tea. Scrumptious, will definitely be back when in Durham...

Late breakfast and I have Type 2 Diabetes so it's nice find somewhere that offers wholewheat breads. Service was relatively fast for such a busy market day. Avocado was very fresh but a little "rationed". The DIY experience was novel. All perfectly acceptable to be fair.

I love it when indoor markets have a cafe because you can always guarantee delicious well-cooked food.
This proved to be the case today when we visited the bustling Cafe Cenno in Durham Market Hall.
The cafe is on a mezzanine floor so you look out across the top of the market stalls. It has a lot of seating but was very busy so we were lucky to get a table.
We went in for lunch, my husband having steak pie, peas and gravy whilst I opted for the light option roast dinner with beef.
The food was delicious: beef so tender with lovely gravy and the best mash you could imagine.
We managed to share a Mars bar slice as all of the other cakes and desserts were enormous! Proper Yorkshire tea made the meal complete.
If you are looking for good quality home cooking, well prepared and generous portions this is a must visit.
It is very rare that we visit Durham but this will definitely be on our list of great places to eat.

Had lunch on Saturday, staff very nice, a few items we tried to order out of stock Ice Tea’s and no rolls for the soup , toasties were fine only about 5 crisps on each plate as a side to them, pot of tea nice but the cappuccino was too milky watery no taste of coffee at all. Cost £27 for 2 x tea’s 1 x cappuccino 2 x toasties 1 x soap of the day.

Great cafe with toilets available.
Lovely atmosphere, situated upstairs in the market hall. Good service and exceptional value for what you get. Highly recommend a visit.

Brilliant service, great menu and decent prices. Staff are lovely and it's very clean.
It's a great hidden gem in Durham that I didn't even know was there. Went with my disabled mam, we found the market by pure chance. In a search for food we decided to try Cafe Cenno and it's a choice I do not regret at all. We both had kids meals and they were delicious. The chips are huge and crispy and the chicken nuggets are succulent and tender. She enjoyed her cappuccino and I thoroughly enjoyed my fruit shoots which are free with the kids meals. We managed to get into the cafe ok, the lift was very helpful, and we managed to pull in with the wheelchair to sit at our table. The area was clean and it has a lovely view of the market place with a wee train set on top.

Excellent little cafe. We had breakfast. The prices are higher than we normally pay for breakfast food. But you can see why you pay more here. The food is top quality produce. Very tasty. Would highly recommend.

A cafe at the balcony of the market. Food was hot and good. Price was reasonable for the big portion. Seats were comfortable.

Toilet was not far from. Good.
